The Telomere Effect book reveals ways to live longer, age control
Nobel prize winner Elizabeth Blackburn's Book 'The Telomere Effect: A Revolutionary Approach to Living Younger, Healthier and Longer' describes how to control aging
The book 'The Telomere Effect: A Revolutionary Approach to Living Younger, Healthier and Longer' is written by Nobel Prize winning molecular biologist, Elizabeth Blackburn.
Elizabeth is a part of the team that discovered how telomeres protect the chromosome along with health psychologist Elisa Epel.
Extreme exercise not very much important to control aging
Elizabeth mentions in her book that we have more control over our own aging than we imagine and we can actually lengthen our telomeres and perhaps our life by following proper health advices.
Telomeres are located at the end of the strands of DNA, like the protective caps on the shoelaces and the stress from a rough lifestyle will shorten those caps leading to no further division of cells.
Telomeres research concludes that extreme exercise is not as much important to live healthier and longer.
Blackburn aforementions that the world is incredibly important in its influence on our telomeres.
